1. "I don't need anybody to hold my hand."

Olivia Benson is exactly who we all wish to be with this quote. We don't need anybody! We are completely independent-- but remember, it's okay to ask for help.

2. "You have the right to keep your mouth shut."

You could think of someone else like this, but YOU have the right to keep your mouth shut. How often do you say something and regret it? Too often, I thought so. You have the right to remain silent when you have nothing good to say.

3. "You're a fighter. Look at everything you've overcome. Don't give up now."

Remind yourself of all the hard times you've had. You made it through, and it sure isn't time to quit. We're all rooting for you, even Olivia Benson.

4. "Having a little balance is not so bad."

Sometimes we overwhelm ourselves, so when we take a step back and balance our lives, that's good. We don't need to be everything to everyone, we need to be balanced for ourselves.

5. "We blame all kinds of people for creating monsters. Why not ourselves?"

So many times we blame others for bad things happening, but maybe it's us. Maybe we don't always own up to our mistakes. We make choices that hurt ourselves and others. Monsters known as bad situations are often what we put ourselves into, not what others put us into.

6. "I trust my instincts. If I don't have that, I shouldn't be here."

Everyone remember that you have instincts for a reason. If you didn't have them, the chance of you being here is slim to none. Instincts are meaningful. When you don't feel right about that guy, trust your instincts.

7. "Go home. Talk to somebody you love. And don't make this job your whole life."

Remember, whatever you are going through does not have to be your whole life. You can take a step back and relax. You can just watch Netflix or curl up and nap sometimes. Just relax.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
